Ace's has become one of my favorite breakfast spots. My go-to is the Full Tank omelette with French toast, which is basically my way of saying I came hungry and made the right decision. The omelette is filling, the French toast hits the spot, and together they make getting out of bed feel completely worth it. What really makes Ace's special is how clean and welcoming it feels. The staff is so friendly that you feel less like a customer and more like you stopped by a neighbor's house for breakfast, except this neighbor actually knows how to cook. I usually come for breakfast, so I can't speak on dinner just yet. If breakfast is any indication, though, dinner may need to be my next mission. read more

Shout-out to Cassie at Aces - Pensacola Huge thanks to Cassie for taking outstanding care of us during the Marine Corps League event at Aces in Pensacola. She was hustling all night -- extremely attentive, professional, and on point from start to finish. Service like hers doesn't go unnoticed. She truly elevated the entire evening and made our event even better. Well done, Cassie -- you represented Aces with excellence. read more

Ace's Restaurant - The amazing Cassie in the middle!! She is amazing!!! Thank you for the amazing support for the Marine Corps League Event !!!! - Southern Near Me - Milton, Florida

This place is one of my favorites. The food is very good and reasonably priced. They have a hot bar with veggies, soup as well as salad bar. Not crazy about the salads, but everything else is good, and I really like getting a wide variety. Today I got grilled cobia with 2 bowls for the bar. My sides were fried squash (excellent), sweet potatoes, greens (surprisingly good), green limas and field peas. All of it was very good. Price was $13.99. Hard to beat. They also have daily specials for around $11. The meatloaf on Tuesday is a favorite. Service was good. Fast and attentive. The restaurant appears to be in an old house. So ambiance is about what you expect for country cooking read more

This place always has consistent food, a well sized menu, breakfast all day, the same staff have all been there for years, the buffet is good, the coffee is good, etc. I have no complaints here, and this place is always a comfortable go-to for a meal. read more

We have been going to Ace's for many years. We live in Pensacola and are always more than willing to go to Milton to eat there. My entire family loves it. Grandma went there with us, Mom always went there too. Now it's just me and my kids and we still go there as much as we can. We all have eaten different things through the years and have loved everything we ate. read more

Wow. Had plate lunch of spaghetti it was delicious and I can't believe the portions. The service is excellent fast, hot and ready to serve. Have eaten the beef tips and country fried steak before both are great. The vegetable bar is a unique idea seems to be fresh every time I have been there. It's a great lunch spot. read more

Wow, talk about a diamond in the rough. Down home cookin that hits the spot. I'll have to take pics next time because I almost licked the plates clean! Had the Full-Tank breakfast and let me tell you, it did not disappoint! The grits were excellent as was my omelette. The French toast was basic, but had the perfect amount of sugar and cinnamon to take to next level. The biscuit was a m a z i n g! Fluffy and light, perfect! I will definitely be back!!! read more

Ace's Restaurant - A very home style and welcoming kinda place - Southern Near Me - Milton, Florida

This is old time, locals dining extraordinary! Welcoming to us newbies which isn't a standard thing across the country. I had the country fried steak (side of green beans and corn on the cob) and my wife had two eggs, grits, French toast, biscuit (that's one meal folks! And way too much for her! It was all good stuff and apparently where everyone knows each other. If you're in Milton, it's much better than some chain. read more

I stopped here while traveling through. It looks more like a biker bar on the outside. Don't be dissuaded. Older diner where I suspect a lot of locals call home. Service was quick and the food was good. read more

I came to this place for a goodbye brunch I had before I left my hometown to come back to my current town, Orlando. I came here with a bunch of guys around 9AM on a Saturday, and I was expecting it to be packed, but turns out it was actually not too bad, and we got seated right away. The atmosphere and decor of this place was simple and effective. They try really hard (or not too hard at all) to be the simple, down home, country joint that cooks good food. The menu covers were license plates, which is a super nice touch. So I ordered the thing that I have ordered every single time I have ever come here, the thing that I was brought to this restaurant for the first time for, the BB's Breakfast (2 biscuits covered with sausage, potatoes, scrambled eggs, and gravy). This thing sounds super Southernly decadent, and it is. The biscuits are made in house, and the gravy is just everywhere, but the taste isn't too overwhelming. It's more of a vessel for the sausage and potatoes and the eggs to live in. The sausage is crumbled and good and peppery. The potatoes are in big cubes and crispy and cooked all the way through. And the eggs are scrambled. Everything just comes together and made one scrumptious dish. I saw my friends' waffles that they ordered, and I got jealous and ordered one myself. Cooked fresh and just what you want a waffle to be. I washed down my meal with their sweet tea, which is super sweet, just like you'd expect in the South. Overall, this place is definitely an above average place if you want a nice, simple breakfast with no fancy stuff, and I definitely recommend this place if you're from around the area or even just visiting the Pensacola area. It's not too far out of the way. read more

Excellent lunch of great catfish. We were seriously craving some fried catfish & this homey place did not disappoint! Great service too. Massive menu, too. If you can't find something to eat here, you're just not hungry! read more

First time eating there - lunch. Service was great. Lots of staff Food good. Onion rings really delish. Only wish the bread on the French dip was crispy. Lots of options to choose from, so I'll be back. read more

This family restaurant makes a mean breakfast at a great price. The service was on point and food was served quickly. For the amount we paid, I think we got more than enough food for four, nevermind the fact it was just two of us! Definitely recommend their biscuits are gravy! read more

Quick service providing delicious food. We enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere. I will be returning!

To sum it up - good and cheap! We stumbled upon Ace's while staying in Florida for the night. Our first time visiting, they had an all-you-can-eat seafood buffet. I'm not big on buffets, but the food was all fresh and the selection was plentiful. We enjoyed it so much that we went back a few weeks later and ordered off the menu. On that visit, I had a country fried steak with mashed potatoes and gravy and apple cobbler as the sides. It was enough food for two people and perfectly prepared. The service was fantastic. The prices were even better. I think we paid about $30 per visit. We'll certainly go back! read more

Best chicken fried steak I have EVER had! The crunchy outside was done to perfection and the steak was tasty and tender. Hubby had biscuits and gravy that were amazing as well. Biscuit was flaky and delicious, not gummy like some. Oh and the sweet tea was really good too! They have a buffet style bar set up that you get to pick your side dishes. That was great too! Fresh mashed potatoes, 2 types of gravy and lots of others to choose from. Everyone is friendly as well. read more

Food was very fresh, quick service, and very friendly people. Bayla was very nice and got our order perfect!

I use to love eating here. I've never had any issues and I never complain anywhere with my food or how it comes out or nothing. I ate here today for dinner and I'm going home hungry. I've never seen dinner pork chops so then for that matter a grocery store thin chops aren't even this then. Yes I still ate and paid for it but will never get them again and I'll tell my friends not to order them. I ate everything on my plates the sides were great I tried filling up on them, but I'm still hungry. Maybe if these were served with a breakfast platter it might be acceptable. The server was great the food was great but I think they gave me the kids meal. read more

Ace's Restaurant - Dinner pork chops? - Southern Near Me - Milton, Florida

We absolutely love this place!!! Breakfast is great but their bar is the best. Hoppin John is so good with their chicken bites :). The staff is wonderful and friendly and my husband loves their sweet team. read more

Food was not good, I ordered the fish sandwich, it was crispy around the edges but gooey inside. Fries were Luke warm. My husband had the hamburger and said it was good. One thing I would recommend the lumpia's. I would go back and just order them. I can't recommend this restaurant though. Sorry read more

Great place to have a old fashioned country breakfast! Service was excellent! Will definitely be back!

I don't think I've ever had crappy service at this restaurant and I've been going to see them since the day they open their doors. There's seafood all you can eat night is amazing but their tank specials are off the chain their teriyaki grilled chicken bites are to die for. Not to mention their corn nuggets, onion rings, And a salad bar that is fully stocked with anything you could possibly think of. My family loves Aces! read more

Pros: Very local diner. The server was welcoming. The omelet was very good. Cons: the potatoes were dry and flavorless. The pancakes were tough- as if they are pre-cooked and then steamed or reheated. Worst pancakes I have ever tasted. Ever. Service was pretty slow. Decor needs an update, but the real issue is the food. read more

Great liver and onions with two sides (lots to choose from!) every day. Dumplings and two sides on Fridays! Specials every day! Heading over in a bit to pick-up to bring home for this evening!! read more

Amazing seafood and the buffalo chicken sammich is one of the best in town. Solid business, how they operate.

Went with a friend, always our meeting place, always consistent, well NOT TODAY,had chicken and dumplings, they were to salty, in a small bowl, would have been a cup of soup, runny, no Chix or dumplings, just salty mush. I don't know what has changed but second time in a row, not worth the money and food was awful. read more

This place is great service is good and good is great . I love the bread pudding I would recommend this place

Love their country foods and veggies! Salad bar is always a treat! Great prices and to Go service!

Ace's is a nice little spot filled with friendly people! My server has been great every time I've been and the food is always cooked to perfection! The first time I went I got a mushroom burger and the grilled catfish and both were incredible! The next time I went I got the mushroom burger again and it was just as incredible as the first time. Truly one of the best burgers I've ever had and is now my go to spot whenever I'm craving a burger! read more
